...With the game all wrapped up. Harvard executed a basic scoring play to perfection. Goalie Meyers cleared the ball three-quarters of the field to Gomez, who in turn centered the shot from the wing to Phil Kydes in front. With his back to the goal.

Today is one of your very basic big Ivy League Saturdays. There are no less than three, and no more than three, important contests today.
